- to promote exchange and wider dissemination of knowledge and good practices and to launch actions aimed at supporting the setting up and good functioning of European Works Councils, including the promotion of gender balanced European Works Councils;
- to support workers’ involvement in the anticipation and management of change and the prevention and resolution of disputes in the event of various forms of restructuring in EU level undertakings and groups of undertakings, as required to achieve a just transition, i.e. address challenges brought by the pursuit of EU’s climate objectives (e.g. Council recommendation of 16 June 20225 on ensuring a fair transition towards climate neutrality), and by the digital transformation of economies (e.g. impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on work organisation or working conditions).
